I want to transfer 2 different phone lines, and I want to keep my original phone numbers. Also, does my compter have to be 'on' for phones to work?

This model does not require computer to be on. Just DSL or Cable or whatever ISP device you may have need to be on.

If the 2 phone lines are cell phone numbers, switching it over to Google Voice is very easy. Go to Google Voice settings (upper right hand corner with the cog wheel symbol) and add the phone number. If you are trying to change your landline number over because you want to keep the same number, it's a two step process. but you will have to port your number over to a mobile service such as T-mobile first and then port it to Google Voice (GV) since GV only accepts mobile numbers. You can get instructions on how to do this on the obihai.com website under "tutorials and tips" and then "port your number to google voice". You can do this for about $10 by buying a SIM card to temporarily hold your ported landline number. It's not too painful and totally worth it! Good luck.

Absolutely no computer required. I hooked up 4 voip ph service to my little device and works beautiful!

This phone was used as a spare so I did not look into using "my old number," but I think it is transferable. I would direct the question directly to BoostMobile. Here the link to http://www.boostmobile.com/search/?q=transfer%20number#search

Yes you can, in fact! All you have to do is call TracFone and follow the step-by-step instructions provided over the phone and everything should be fine with keeping the existing phone number.

You can have two different numbers with the Same service provider or two different providers as long as the second is GSM compatable. ie AT&T;, T-Mobile,

Yes as long as you use the same SIM card or take the phone to your carrier. If you are switching carriers you will need your account number and PIN number from your current carrier to move your number.

Yes, you always have the option of transferring a number you already have through any carrier or letting them assigning you a new number. I think if you do it online it lets you pick maybe the prefix.

Yes - but make sure not to make any changes at your current provider. Instead, have Phone Power "pull" the number from the other provider. There will be a period of time after you begin your Phone Power but before your number is "pulled". During that time you can make calls but you won't be able to receive any on the Phone Power system. That's the other reason not to make any changes with your current provider. Good luck with the decision. I'm just another happy Phone Power customer.

I don't know what you mean by no #'s to type in, but yes, you take your SIM card out of one an put it into the other, you will need to transfer your phone numbers from one phone to the other, there are several ways to do that.

You would have to contact your service provider...and they will nedd the number under the battery.... But you can usually only do that if you are using the same provider. I dont think you can switch carriers can keep the same number.But I could be wrong. Anycase you would have to contact your service provider....

I agree with the below answers. The suggestion that you make sure they all have separate numbers, 1 through 4 is also correct. You can clear all the phones AND then place them on the master and get the numbers reassigned. Also if you are too far away from the master, it can say something like what you are reading....beyond that I cannot think of anything else...I still think that it is a reassignment of the numbers issues.

No, just two line ports: Line 1+2 and Line 2. You'll need a phone line splitter to split the phone line between this phone and your other device.

you could use different accounts but then you would need to have both base stations connected to your router... if you use just one base station you can link the phones but it needs the same skype account

Don't quote me but based on my experience you can use that phone. Just explain that the other phone is lost. As long as you can verify your identity they will simply switch the information and the number. Only exception would be if your number were inaccessible, and it doesn't appear that would be the case. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Hello Kathy,In most cases, you can keep your existing phone number by porting it. To port your number, your account with the other carrier must be active and cannot be under contract. Please contact us at 1(800)733-6632. We can verify the portability of your number and provide you with additional details on the process.

No, but you can switch over to another call if you have the call waiting phone plan if that is what you mean by 2 lines.

This is just another device connecting to your route, just like a computer. You will need to have an account (I use voip.ms but any type of service will be compatible). This device will hold your account information and keep the connection alive to the service. I then have my phone connected to this device (which has 3 remote handsets). I have had very good luck with this. It's kind of a set it up and forget it type of thing.

It actually took me 10 days to transfer my old number, I think it depends on your old phone company to forward it to them. But before you transfer your number, test the duo first. I didn't, which I kind of regretted initially, as the duo connection was spotty and I had several dropped calls. Fortunately, after 3 weeks of email and then 2 hours of waiting for a nettalk CS, they got me a tech that updated and reconfigured my duo...so far, the duo is working fine with none of the old problems so far...fingers crossed...and by the way, they will remote access your computer to reconfigure it...so if you are iffy with somebody you dont know accessing your computer, then think twice about it...
